{ Review } KOSE SEKKISEI Save the Blue: Travel Set + Lotion

June 19, 2012

Hello good looking!

I am here to tempt you with the KOSE SEKKISEI Save the Blue products again! Not forcing you or anything, but trying to make you feel jealous of me (and maybe gain your interest at the same time) because it's such a great product. I dare say that because I've tried it for myself. (^_−)☆

In case you aren't aware, KOSE is currently having this Save the Blue project where part of the proceeds from your purchase will be donated to Tropical Marine Science Institute of the NUS, for research, education and conservation efforts of Singapore's coral reefs.

From 1 June to 31 July 2012, Save the Blue Limited Edition SEKKISEI Lotion (360ml) will be sold at $121, and the SEKKISEI Travel Set will be sold at a special price of $142. Yup, the special packaging of the products is only during the project period!

This is the SEKKISEI Lotion!

Features:

A mild yet effective, refreshing lotion that penetrates instantly to get rid of dullness and promotes an even, glowing skin tone.

This is a product that is adored by many. I've heard of many great things about this lotion; it has been really popular for so many years and I can see why! I have to say that I really love the smell of it (very fragrant!) and it absorbs into my skin really well. I'm quite surprised at how moisturing this product is, and I love how it's made up of herbal extract ingredients so I don't have to worry about having all that harmful chemicals on my face! It did improve my skin texture and it's amazing how I wake up to better looking skin everyday.

This lotion has got a whitening effect too, but maybe because I haven't used it for that long so I couldn't see much of the effect yet.

This is definitely a money saver because you just need to use a small amount and lather it with water twice a day. My face is reallyyy oily and this powder wash cleanses my face really well! My skin feels so squeaky clean after every use! *.* It is very mild and gentle with a very light scent. I also love how it forms a velvety and smooth, thick foam.

My only problem is that I can't really control the amount of powder that I want to pour out. Sometimes I pour too much and it's very troublesome to pour it back into the container.

This product has a very milky texture. It is very gentle which is good for people with sensitive skin! It brightened up and smoothed my skin. Also, it moisturises well, and I love to use it around my eyes.

What I am not fond of it though, is that it doesn't absorb fully into my skin. It's quite sticky and I could feel that my skin was greasy and it felt quite uncomfortable, so I wouldn't recommend it to people with oily skin like me. It is also better to pump out just a little bit of it instead of too much like I did.

Well, obviously this is not a product that is suited for me because my skin is not that matured yet, so I passed it to my mum. First thing she said to me when she opened the Cream Excellent was: "WAH! Smells so lovely!" I could see that her skin getting so much softer and supple. Only a little amount is needed for each application so it can last a longggg time.
